Aussiedoodle.

Breed sets the odds. The parents set the dog. Every number here shows its source, its spread and how sure we are. Nothing on this page is a prediction about one dog.

The lines

Within one breed the line can matter more than the breed. Where the lines differ, the page says which one a value belongs to.

f1

F1: a purebred Australian Shepherd crossed with a purebred Poodle, the first generation (OodleLife, a breeder-side editorial site; no breed club standard exists).

f1b

F1b: an F1 Aussiedoodle bred back to a Poodle, the usual definition in the sources read; one source defines it as a backcross to the Australian Shepherd, so confirm with the breeder.

multigen

Multigen: later crosses between Aussiedoodles, F2 and beyond; no source read measures how traits vary across these generations.

The body

What the breed is built like. Registry standards give an ideal, not a range.

Height at the shoulder

22.5 in (18 to 27)

DerivedAKC breed standard, 1993

Derived from both parents' standards; a Standard Poodle parent is assumed. Mini and toy crosses run smaller and no figure is derived for them. Also cited: poo_pca_sizes. The Poodle source gives no heights by sex, so one row covers both sexes. Center is the midpoint of the two parents' centers (20.5 and 24.5).

Weight

dogs 61.3 lb (50 to 70) · bitches 46.3 lb (40 to 55)

DerivedAKC

Derived from both parents' AKC breed-page weight bands (neither standard prints a weight); a Standard Poodle parent is assumed. Mini and toy crosses run smaller and no figure is derived for them. Center is the midpoint of the parents' centers (47.5 and 45).

Heat tolerance

3 of 5 · Both parents score 3: Australian Shepherd medium-length weather-resistant coat with undercoat; Standard Poodle dense curly coat, kept clipped

DerivedAKC breed standard, 1993

Derived from both parents' coat descriptions (AKC standards); the parents agree, so the center is recorded. The coat a given dog inherits, and the clip it is kept in, changes this in practice.

The dog at home

What the breed asks of a day. The first thing most homes get wrong.

Exercise need

Parents differ: Australian Shepherd more than 2 hours a day (150), Standard Poodle up to 1 hour a day (60) per the RKC exercise bands

DerivedThe Royal Kennel Club

Derived from both parents' RKC bands; no center because the parents disagree.

Grooming load

3 of 5 · Parents differ: Australian Shepherd more than once a week (3), Poodle every day or regular clipping (4) per the RKC grooming bands. Which end a dog sits at depends on the coat it inherits; no cited source says how furnishings or curl are inherited

DerivedThe Royal Kennel Club

Derived from both parents' RKC grooming bands; no center because the parents disagree.

What to ask a breeder for

The health clearances the breed’s own club and registry name. Reference only: what to ask for, never a statement about any dog’s health.

How to read this page

Every value carries a label. Measured means peer-reviewed data on many dogs. Studied means peer-reviewed, smaller or indirect. Breed club means a club or registry states it. Editorial means expert opinion with no measurement behind it. Where two good sources disagree, both are shown and neither is averaged.

Published when the entry rests on the best information available from no fewer than three independent sources, checked by a second pass that did not write it. 8 sources on this page. Found something wrong? Tell us and the correction is logged with its date.
